Do you want society to advance? It is a genuine question, because for some people it is an easier question than for others. Most people would say, obviously, we should grow, and society needs to flourish with better ideas all the time. The idea of Artificial Intelligence is the future, and most people are skeptical. AI has been around for decades, but the main wave of it becoming mainstream has only surfaced in the 2020’s. Its access has become easy for anyone to get their hands on. New platforms are pumping out their version of AI; each claim is a better rendition. The big question is that rumors are spreading more and more about AI advancement. Advancing to the point that our jobs could be in jeopardy. Should we be scared of the new AI system and what it will do to our lives?


Artificial intelligence has the processing speed, pattern recognition, and functional power to answer questions in an instant. No matter the questions. This machine is not biased and can be looked at as not a liability compared to humans in that position. AI can do all tasks without getting tired, without getting paid, taking time off, having holidays, sick time, or emotions. Now, where there are positives, there can also be flaws in its creation.


AI is not a supercomputer that is 100% right all of the time. It is not there yet to be flawless. It can answer simple and complex questions by completing tasks you give it. On the other hand, it is simply not human. Some would say it is stupid when it comes to common sense, real-world understanding, and self-awareness. The sad part about this truth is that some jobs don’t need those skills. You give it tasks, and it will complete them without many faults. That does not mean that it couldn’t be there someday. 


The future is only advancing slowly but surely in the AI world. More and more people are working on AI, and it is only a matter of time until they make a version that can cancel some jobs completely. Job security is frightening for others, and some won’t ever go away. Jobs like software engineers/coders, healthcare professionals, energy experts, and more can be untouchable for now.


The questions we have to continue to ask ourselves are whether AI is something we are excited or scared of. We want life to become easier and better for all. That is a given, but the counter of that for many is the lives that might be disrupted because of it. Should we be scared of AI? I don’t know the true answer, but it scared me enough to be curious about it and ask more questions. 


Check out the jobs with the risk of the lowest chance of automation. See if the career you might want to go into could be in jeopardy. This might be the life we now live in and have to consider for the future.

Data Centers Are Booming… and Oregon Is Thirsty About It

Image
Behind every click, stream, and message - Oregon’s data centers keep us connected. For over a century, this land has been defined by the axe, the plow, and the sheer, stubborn will of pioneers. Across the state, in continuing that pioneering spirit, expanding construction sites are turning into sleek, humming facilities that power everything from streaming to banking to emergency services. These are data centers, and whether we notice them or not, they’re shaping the way Oregon connects to the world. At first glance, they might seem out of place. Concrete, steel, and fiber optics replacing open fields and barns, it’s easy to wonder what that means for rural communities. But upon closer inspection, those same communities are seeing new infrastructure, steady tax revenue, and partnerships that fund schools and pave roads. What looks like a tech takeover is often a long‑term investment in stability. Energy is another part of the conversation. Data centers demand power, but they also dri...

The True Cost of Data Centers in Oregon

  Shaping Oregon’s digital landscape starts with community voices at the table- bringing facts, real engineering, and local values to the conversation If you’ve spent any time in local activist spaces or scrolling through Oregon community feeds lately, you’ve probably seen the alarming headlines. The narrative is everywhere: massive, shadowy data centers are moving into our state, sucking our grid dry, and aggressively gulping down millions of gallons of our precious municipal drinking water while leaving local communities with nothing but the bill. It sounds like a classic, dystopian corporate-takeover story. And if those were the actual facts, we should absolutely be out in the streets protesting. But if we’re genuinely committed to truth, digital equity, and real environmental accountability, we have to look past the slick graphics on our screens and talk about actual engineering. Because the real "true cost" of the data center debate isn't a resource crisis- it’s the...

Access to Healthcare for Homeless Individuals with Disabilities

Photo by Sarwer e Kainat Welfare from Pexels. Healthcare access is still a major obstacle for the homeless, especially those with disabilities. The complexity of homelessness and the obstacles faced by people with disabilities in Oregon and elsewhere pose a serious threat to public health. This blog post examines the particular difficulties and potential solutions to enhance access to healthcare for this vulnerable population. Unique Healthcare Challenges for Homeless Individuals with Disabilities A study by Oxford Academic published in "Social Work" highlights several key barriers to healthcare access for homeless individuals with disabilities. These barriers include: Absence of Accessible Services Inadequate care results from many healthcare facilities' lack of capacity to address the unique requirements of people with disabilities. Transportation Problems It can be challenging for homeless people to regularly attend medical visits since they frequently lack access to...
